Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

Didn’t have much time on tonight but wanted to get a few things done.  I logged on and noticed it was cloth day again, man it just seemed like I did that   Still waiting on 3.1 to finish out my tailoring, I need to make Inien a bunch of the new herb bags anyways.  Then I’ll start decking myself and Inien out with 22 slot bags.

After completing my cloth run I went over to do some more questing in Zul’drak.  I’m really lagging about finishing out all of my WOTLK quests.  I’m actually quite embarrassed I haven’t got around to do it yet!  I still need to finish off a bit in Zul’Drak, Storm Peaks, and Icecrown.

I noticed the daily was VH which was short enough for me to be able to do before bed.  I had been in the LFG and got invited to a group just about the time Inien got out of his OS run.  I got him invited as we actually needed an extra DPS.  Everyone was pretty pro though we did wipe on the stupid water guy on the second spawn which means we got to start over   Everyone was running around like mad men, and when he rematerialized he ran over and crit me for over 18k, right through my shield!   I still have no idea how I the lowly Priest who had barely needed to even heal the very good DK tank, with all the DPS the mages and warlock were doing got agro WITH silent resolve but whatever…

I’ve been going back in forth in my mind about dual spec actually going back on the idea of doing it or not.  I still think I will as I would like to be able to speak with more authority on the non-healing issues of Priest.  Shadow Priests also look like they are more interesting damage dealers as like Priests they have more “tools” and don’t just cast one or two spells over and over.  I’m going to completely break with what I read though and go for something like this spec. I want to see if I can really go without meditation, especially with the improvements made to the Shadow Fiend, and the Shadow Priest reduced cool down.

People say Mediation is mandatory, that doesn’t seem quite right to me since only a few DPS specs even have access to such a talent, and there are so many more interesting talents I would rather try.  Maybe I’ll eat my words, but I want to try a go without it and see.  Maybe all the Spirit Tap talents and the improved fiend can offset the mandatoriness   I’m sure I’ll be called a Noob though if someone looks at my spec.  In general though my specs are never mainstream.  I raided with a Holy spec featuring Searing Light and Surge of Light (when it had no healing benefit).  I kind of doubt you’ll be seeing a lot of Disc Priests sporting this spec either
